Come hear a presentation about one of Hollywood’s most influential, yet forgotten film producers: Carl Laemmle, Jr. Known to one and all as simply Junior, at the ripe old age of 21 he was put in charge of Universal Studios, and doing his reign from 1929 to 1936, he was personally responsible for launching one of the most recognizable and enduring cycles of films - The Universal Monsters. Julian David Stone, author of the new novel It’s Alive! which tells the story of Junior’s quest to get the original 1931 film classic Frankenstein made, will share an encore presentation from the last Monsterpalooza on Junior’s career and life. He will be joined by Antonia Carlotta, grand niece of Carl Laemmle and star of the popular web series Universally Me, for a discussion on the origin of the Universal Monsters and the legacy of horror her family launched.
